Essequibo braces for floods

May 30, 2015 News

Senior members of the Region Two Administration are cautioning residents and rice farmers, especially those residing in low-lying areas to move to higher ground. Three days of high intensity of rainfall is expected in the coming days, according to the weatherman.
Regional Chairman, Parmanand Persaud, said, yesterday, that he has been able to ascertain why the outfalls continue to be a problem. He is cautioning vulnerable residents to be careful and possibly, to move to higher ground in light of possible flooding.
Meanwhile, rice farmers were ploughing their fields in preparation for the upcoming crop. One farmer who was accessing his plot of land which is under water, stated that he would be sowing on Sunday.
Reports of flooded rice lands, especially in low-lying areas on the Essequibo Coast have also been recorded. Last week residents of Queenstown Village complained of being inundated for two weeks. It was also reported that a number of pumps in the Region were not functioning.
